A nearly full-length glass top that lets light and scenery into the interior of the electric car is one of the nicest features of the Tesla Model 3. But there are two inquiries that are fairly common:
- Can a Tesla Model 3's glass roof be opened?
- Is a glass roof this size safe?
Can a Tesla Model 3's glass roof be opened?
A Tesla Model 3's roof cannot be opened. And by installing roof racks that work with the glass top that allows you to transport extra cargo, bicycles, and more. However, adding a roof rack can reduce an EV's range. Increased drag, or wind resistance, caused by the Model 3's new form is likely to be the cause of the range reduction. Tesla's says that the glass roof offers UV protection, but direct sunlight can still enter the cabin.
Is a glass roof this size safe?
According to Tesla, the Model 3's 184.8-inch length is largely made up of the glass above. It's a great idea to expose practically the entire roof to the sun and sky.
The roof of the Tesla Model 3 is highly safe despite its substantial glass construction. The carmaker concealed two cross members that are a part of the construction under the glass panelling. The insane, sun-drenched roof of the Tesla Model 3 was tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and was able to withstand 20,000 lbs of crushing force. The IIHS designed the test to imitate rollover protection, for which the Model 3 achieved high results, despite the fact that it may seem like an insignificant story.
The roof of the Model 3 is very robust and it became the safest EV on the road after receiving the 2019 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ Award. The Model 3 earns the highest score of all the EVs on the road with a strength-to-weight ratio of 5.85. Tesla's technical experts claim that the glass roofs on the Model 3 can support four times the vehicle's weight.
Another owner of a Model 3 described a similar incident in which an old tree immediately hit the driver's side roof of his vehicle, but he was able to escape unscathed due to the robust Tesla glass roof.
Tesla Model 3 Roof Specs
It effectively hypnotises everyone who glances at it, extending from the centre of the roof to the beginning of the trunk. Call it Elon Musk's futuristic vision or the engineering brilliance of Tesla, yet many of Tesla's rivals have yet to accomplish this accomplishment.
Tesla glass has a UV reflective coating that deflects all harmful radiation and unwanted heat away from the cabin, giving you magnificent sunlight and a friendly atmosphere.
Thanks to the use of numerous thin film layers, the Tesla roof itself is able to absorb around 99 percent of UV rays, which makes the interior environment highly healthy despite the large glass roof at the top!
Spacious
Even very tall people will fit in a Tesla Model 3 without having to strain and crouch. This is because of the glass roof has 40.3′′ headroom in the front and 37.7′′ in the back. Passengers, regardless of height, will not only have enough headroom in the driver and passenger seats, but also have excellent visibility through the windshield.
Experience Is Immersive From The Rooftop
Your trip is made even better by the Model 3's large glass roof, which gives your eyes a wonderful, relaxing experience. Think about going camping or driving under the stars with special someone for a truly unique Tesla experience.
